“…73 Another recent letter, dated March 1982 and addressed to a Finnish journalist from fifteen Estonian intellectuals who chose to remain anonymous, offers more detail on some of the points made in 1980: the language of administration and business in Estonia is increasingly Russian, the study of Estonian in Russian-language schools is not taken seriously, and ethnic tensions in Estonia are on the rise. 73 Another recent letter, dated March 1982 and addressed to a Finnish journalist from fifteen Estonian intellectuals who chose to remain anonymous, offers more detail on some of the points made in 1980: the language of administration and business in Estonia is increasingly Russian, the study of Estonian in Russian-language schools is not taken seriously, and ethnic tensions in Estonia are on the rise.…”

“…The landscape of the Baltic states was formed by glaciers that once covered the region during the last Ice Age. As the climate warmed and the ice began to melt, large amounts of meltwater were released, creating vast lakes and rivers [4]. There are many different types of water bodies in the Baltic states, such as lakes, peat bogs, swamps, and marshes, which provide a natural habitat for various species of animals, including leeches.…”

The Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—are situated on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea between Russia and the Scandinavian countries. This region is characterized by diverse landscapes and numerous bodies of water, including lakes, peat bogs, and marshes, which serve as natural habitats for aquatic invertebrates, including leeches. Despite the rare and uncertain taxonomic status of leech species in the area, research in the Baltic region has been inadequate. Therefore, this study aims to examine the composition of leech species in the Baltic countries, drawing on both past and current research. The study also seeks to assess the status of Hirudo medicinalis in the Baltic region and discuss the rare, questionable, and potentially present leech species in the Baltic states. A scoping review method was employed, surveying published references, books, and databases. In total, the study found records of 21 leech species in Estonia, 15 in Latvia, and 26 in Lithuania, belonging to the families Glossiphoniidae, Erpobdellidae, Hirudinidae, Haemopidae, and Piscicolidae. Hirudo medicinalis L. is distributed throughout all Baltic countries, but the most recent records on their location are only available for Estonia. The data on a few Piscicolidae species is questionable and requires verification, but further research on Piscicolid leeches can potentially lead to the discovery of rare species.

If one may judge by Soviet political humor on Radio Armenia, the so-called “socialist internationalism” among the many nationalities in the USSR has reflected less than a perfect “friendship of peoples” in the past: Question: What is the “friendship of peoples”? Radio Armenia: It's when an Armenian takes the hand of an Uzbek, an Uzbek that of a Latvian, a Latvian that of a Russian, a Russian that of a Kazakh, a Kazakh that of a Ukrainian, and then they all go and beat up a Georgian.
